A second referendum on Brexit could be “a very dicey scene” and not the simple task some in Ireland appear to think, former taoiseach Bertie Ahern told an economic conference devoted to Brexit on Thursday.
Mr Ahern said his preferred approach would be one in which three options were quickly narrowed down from a larger field, and those final three negotiated upon.
